One of the most common cliché- if u wants to have a good kitten one should observe the mother cat. This time Lok Sabha Member of Parliament (MP) from the Jangipur, Abhijit Mukherjee, son of President of India, Pranab Mukherjee was forced to tender an unconditional apology on Thursday by terming “highly dented-painted” the women participating in the Delhi mass protests after the December 16 gang-rape. He also said he is ignorant that engineering students have different meaning for “highly dented-painted”. Such comment have dragged the nation’s first citizen into a controversy and forcing the nation to introspect if they have elected the right person for the right post.Abhijit, no doubt has won the Congress ticket to contest because of his farther. Now that he is also the son of the first citizen of India, mature and universal conduct is much expected as it will only reflect the image of the President of India, as the theory of kitten and mother cat. His ideology of beautiful woman who used cosmetics and being crusaders has shocked the whole nation.

The second annual Orange festival 2012 in Meghalaya not only attracted the tourists, who got the taste of orange produced here, even the domestic fruits lovers were delighted to be treated with variety of indigenous oranges from the state. Meghalaya claims to produce about 40,000 tonnes of oranges per year. Yet the domestic consumers pay Rs 10 to Rs 15 per orange depending on size. While one needs to pay around Rs 8 to Rs 10 per piece for the imported variety. Meghalaya is yet to produce organic fruits; chemicals are still used to forcefully ripe the fruits. The produce collected from the Indo – Bangladesh border, which is considered to be one of the best qualities, hardly reaches the local markets, due to high cost of transportation. The farmers prefer to export to Bangladesh even at lower rate; each export orange could fetch them just about Rs 5 per piece. The consumer in Bangladesh is paying lower price for the same orange we consume.
